‫CGTN: التحول الصيني في مجال السينما: كيف تسببت سياسة الرسوم الجمركية الأمريكية في ذلك؟

نشرت شبكة CGTN مقالاً تناولت فيه كيفية تناقض الشراكة السينمائية الجديدة بين الصين وإسبانيا مع تخفيضات الصين على واردات الأفلام الأمريكية، كاشفةً التأثير السلبي لحرب الرسوم الجمركية التي تشنّها الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، ما يعرّض السوق الخارجية الأكثر ربحًا في هوليوود للخطر ويُضعف هيمنة تجارة الخدمات الأوسع نطاقًا في البلاد.

بكين, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

وقّعت الصين وإسبانيا، خلال زيارة رئيس الوزراء الإسباني Pedro Sanchez إلى الصين يوم الجمعة، مذكرة تفاهم بشأن التعاون السينمائي، ما أعطى زخمًا جديدًا للتبادلات الثقافية بين البلدين.

ستُعزّز الصين وإسبانيا تعاونهما في مجال صناعة السينما، بما في ذلك المشاركة بشكل مشترك في المهرجانات والعروض المتبادلة والإنتاج المشترك وتبادل الموظفين، وذلك وفقًا لمذكرة التفاهم المُوقعة بين الإدارة الوطنية الصينية للسينما China’s National Film Administration والمعهد الإسباني للتصوير السينمائي والفنون السمعية البصرية Spain’s Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts.

تُشكِل الشراكة السينمائية المُعزّزة بين الصين وإسبانيا تناقضًا واضحًا مع إعلان بكين عن خطتها لتقليص تدريجي لواردات الأفلام الأمريكية.

أفاد متحدث باسم الإدارة الصينية للسينما China Film Administration، يوم الخميس، أن هذا التعديل يأتي انسجامًا مع مبادئ السوق ويعكس تفضيلات الجمهور، مشيرًا إلى أن الزيادات الأخيرة في الرسوم الجمركية التي فرضتها الولايات المتحدة على الواردات الصينية من شأنها أن تؤثّر سلبًا على اهتمام الجمهور الصيني بالأفلام الأمريكية.

شهدت أسهم العديد من شركات السينما والإعلام الأمريكية الكبرى انخفاضًا حادًا عقب إعلان الصين عن نيتها خفض واردات هوليوود. وقد شهدت شركتا Walt Disney وWarner Bros. Discovery, Inc انخفاضًا في أسعار أسهمهما بنسبة 6.79% و12.53% على التوالي.

يعزو المحللون هذا الانخفاض إلى المخاوف المتزايدة من فقدان القدرة على دخول ثاني أكبر سوق للأفلام في العالم. وتُظهِر البيانات أن إجمالي إصدارات الأفلام الأمريكية في الصين بلغ 63 فيلمًا في عام 2018 و52 فيلمًا في عام 2019، محققةً إجمالي إيرادات قدره 19.9 مليار يوان (2.72 مليار دولار)، وهو ما يمثل أكثر من 80% من إجمالي إيرادات الأفلام الأجنبية خلال هذه الفترة. تُعَد هذه الفترة واحدة من أفضل الفترات التي شهدت نجاحًا كبيرًا للأفلام الأمريكية في شباك التذاكر الصيني.

من قطاع الأفلام ووصولاً إلى المالية والتكنولوجيا، أخفقت إدارة الرئيس الأمريكي Donald Trump في الاعتراف بفائضها التجاري الهائل في قطاع الخدمات مع شركائها التجاريين عندما اتخذت قرارًا بفرض رسوم جمركية إضافية شاملة على السلع المستوردة تحت ذريعة تقليص عجزها التجاري.

تُعَد الولايات المتحدة هي أكبر مصدر لتراجع تجارة الخدمات في الصين. ووفقًا لوزارة التجارة الأمريكية، قفزت صادرات الخدمات الأمريكية إلى الصين من 5.63 مليار دولار في عام 2001 إلى 46.71 مليار دولار في عام 2023، بزيادة 7.3 مرات، بينما تضخّمَ الفائض التجاري السنوي للخدمات 11.5 مرة ليصل إلى 26.57 مليار دولار، مسجلاً أعلى مستوى له عند 39.7 مليار دولار في عام 2019.

تُهدِّد التوترات التجارية المستمرة بين الولايات المتحدة وشركائها التجاريين بتعطيل تجارة الخدمات لديها. حذّرَت رئيسة المفوضية الأوروبية، Ursula von der Leyen، من أن الاتحاد الأوروبي قد يضطر لتصعيد الحرب التجارية من خلال استهداف قطاع الخدمات الأمريكية، الذي تُحقِّق فيه الولايات المتحدة فائضًا تجاريًا كبيرًا مع أوروبا، في حال فشل المفاوضات بشأن الرسوم الجمركية.

في مقابلة مع صحيفة Financial Times، أشارت von der Leyen إلى كبرى شركات التكنولوجيا الأمريكية كأحد النقاط التي يمكن الضغط من خلالها، مشيرةً إلى استعداد بروكسل لفرض ضريبة على الإعلانات الرقمية التي من شأنها التأثير بشكل مباشر على شركات مثل Meta وGoogle وFacebook.

يُظهر أحدث تعاون سينمائي بين الصين وإسبانيا التزام الصين بالانفتاح المستدام واستعدادها لمشاركة فرص السوق مع الشركاء العالميين.

اتفق رئيس الوزراء الصيني Li Qiang ونظيره الإسباني، اللذان شهدا توقيع مذكرة التفاهم يوم الجمعة، على تعزيز التعاون في مجالات الاقتصاد والتجارة والاستثمار والابتكار التكنولوجي، ودعم التجارة الحرة والتعاون المفتوح بشكل مشترك والدفاع عن مبادئ التعددية.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Alarum was less effective in retaining and/or expanding customer engagements than it had represented to investors; (2) the foregoing would impair Alarum’s ability to generate consistent revenue growth; (3) accordingly, Alarum’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, Alarum’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Alarum class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=35175 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CGTN: China’s silver screen pivot: Why U.S. tariff policy is to blame

CGTN published an article on how China’s new film partnership with Spain contrasts with its cuts to U.S. film imports, exposing the self-defeating impact of America’s tariff war – jeopardizing Hollywood’s most lucrative foreign market and undermining the country’s broader services trade dominance.

BEIJING, April 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s visit to China on Friday, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on film cooperation, injecting new momentum into bilateral cultural exchanges.

China and Spain will deepen collaboration in the film industry, including joint participation in festivals, mutual screenings, co-productions, and personnel exchanges, according to the MOU inked between China’s National Film Administration and Spain’s Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts.

The enhanced film partnership between China and Spain stands in sharp contrast to Beijing’s announcement of its plan to moderately reduce the number of U.S. films imported.

A spokesperson for the China Film Administration said on Thursday that the adjustment follows market principles and reflects audience preferences, as the United States’ recent hikes in tariffs on Chinese imports are bound to impact Chinese audiences’ interest in U.S. films.

Following China’s signal to cut Hollywood imports, shares of several major U.S. film and media companies fell sharply. The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. saw their stock prices drop by 6.79 and 12.53 percent, respectively.

Analysts attribute the decline to growing fears of being shut out of the world’s second-largest film market. Data shows U.S. film releases in China totaled 63 in 2018 and 52 in 2019, generating 19.9 billion yuan ($2.72 billion) combined and commanding over 80 percent of all foreign film revenue in this period. This was one of the best runs for U.S. films in the Chinese box office.

From films to finance and technology, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has failed to acknowledge its massive trade surplus in the services sector with its trading partners when it decided to slap sweeping additional tariffs on imported goods under the pretext of reducing its trade deficits.

The United States is China’s largest source of services trade deficits. According to U.S. Department of Commerce, American services exports to China surged from $5.63 billion in 2001 to $46.71 billion in 2023 – a 7.3-fold increase – while the annual services trade surplus ballooned 11.5 times to $26.57 billion, peaking at $39.7 billion in 2019.

The ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners threaten to disrupt its services trade. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has warned that the European Union is prepared to escalate the trade war by targeting U.S. services – a sector where America holds a significant trade surplus with Europe – should negotiations on tariffs fail.

In an interview with the Financial Times, von der Leyen singled out U.S. tech giants as a potential pressure point, signaling Brussels’ readiness to impose a digital advertising tax that would directly impact firms like Meta, Google, and Facebook.

The latest China-Spain film collaboration demonstrates China’s commitment to sustained openness and willingness to share market opportunities with global partners.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang and the Spanish prime minister, who witnessed the signing of the MOU on Friday, agreed to enhance cooperation on the economy, trade, investment and technological innovation, jointly support free trade and open cooperation and uphold multilateralism.
